One last hurrah before the end of the year. Runners, get ready for a fun and festive holiday 10K trail races at Squaxin Park in Olympia, WA on December 14.

A few updates from the elite field:

Dylan Bowman is repaying his debt from last year and is volunteering at Chapman Aid Station:

Tomorrow I get to repay my debt. Captained by Bill, myself and a team of volunteers will return to Chapman to assist the 2024 class of Hardrockers in their quest. A chance to exorcise demons, witness human striving, fill some water bottles, and maybe distribute a few pep talks. I can’t freaking wait.

Jeff Browning was out in the San Juans marking the course this week.

Two days of marking the @hardrock100run course.

Zach Miller is not running tomorrow according to Mountain Outpost coverage.


And around town:

  • The town has quieted down now on the evening before the race. The bar in my hotel is shutting down at 8pm to allow runners a quiet night sleep before their big dance.
  • Earlier this evening clouds pulling into town and looking quite menacing over the mountains. But forecast seems to look dry for the race (not sure if my weather forecast captures the entire course).
